The Office of Student Disability Services has been charged by the University to provide students, faculty, and staff with assistance and information on issues of access and full participation for persons with disabilities at Central Connecticut State University.

The Office of Student Disability Services’ primary duty is to provide services and supports that promote educational equity for students with disabilities. Assistance includes arranging accommodations and auxiliary aids that are necessary for students with disabilities to pursue their academic careers.

Student Disability Services (SDS) provides students, faculty and staff with assistance and information on issues of access and fostering opportunities for students to participate in a barrier-free learning environment at CCSU under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. The principal duty of SDS is to provide services and supports that promote educational equity for students with disabilities. Assistance includes arranging reasonable accommodations and auxiliary aids that are necessary for students with disabilities to pursue their academic studies, both in and outside of the classroom. Students with verifiable disabilities, visible or hidden, qualify for services. All students must provide documentation of disability that includes, but is not limited to, caring for oneself, standing, lifting, bending, speaking, breathing, eating, sleeping, walking, standing, performing manual tasks, learning, reading, concentrating, thinking, communicating and working.
